Important - Student Registration Verification
Please make sure that you have verified your information in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. The completion of this process is required for ALL returning students.
Parents of returning students must access the PowerSchool Enrollment online forms through the PowerSchool Parent Portal at https://ps.mpark.net/public. The online forms contain demographic and emergency information you entered last year. During this process, you will verify the information is accurate or update any information that has changed. Parents will also electronically sign annual agreement forms for school district policies.
At least one parent is required to create a PowerSchool Parent Portal account. If you have multiple children in Manassas Park City Schools, you must verify information for each student, however only one parent account is necessary.
- If you have created a PowerSchool Parent Portal account in a previous school year, please use that account to log in. Please do not create a new account.
- If you have not created a PowerSchool parent account, directions can be found at http://www.mpark.net/parents/directions-for-parent-portal.
How do I get started?
Visit https://ps.mpark.net/public and sign into your PowerSchool Parent Portal
- Select the student you wish to verify data at the top
- Click the ‘Registration’ link on the left side navigation menu
- Agree to the terms and conditions
- Click Begin Forms
If you have questions about your account, please contact the MPES main office for assistance.
Check your Tech!
Please be sure to check that your child’s Chromebook is operating properly. Please do this over the next two weeks in order to troubleshoot any issues with the MPCS IT Department prior to the first day of school.
If you experience any issues getting the Chromebook connected and logged in to update Chrome; please send a detailed message to it.support@mpark.net as soon as possible and check your email frequently for a response.
Have you Heard About our Family Market?
The goal of the Family Market program is to help alleviate hunger through a monthly distribution of healthy and nutritious food to children and their families. Manassas Park City Schools has partnered with the Capital Area Food Bank to provide non-perishable items and fresh produce to families within our school division. Each family will be allowed to “shop” for what they need and want from an array of products.
Please join us on Monday, August 16th as we begin our eighth year!
